What does it take to survive a financial crisis and come out ahead? In this episode of KSL’s Beyond Business, we follow the journey of Christian Staples, an entrepreneur who refused to give up when the odds were stacked against him.

When the U.S. economy collapsed in the late 2000s, Staples watched his Arctic Spas Utah business shrink dramatically. He nearly walked away for good, until a mentor’s advice changed his future.
